Bursts of edits are debounced: 750ms of quiet, at most 4s of waiting, and at least 2s between uploads.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Ignores `.git`, dependency directories, `.DS_Store`, and `.tmp`, `.swp` and `~` files.\n- Each trigger runs an incremental upload rather than a full resend.\n- The tuning values are internal constants; nothing in this build exposes a setting or environment variable to change them.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`dir-sync: directory watch started on the synced root`\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
